- The IEEE P1003 Portable Operating Systems Environment Committee
- (note the name change to avoid using the trademarked word UNIX)
- met in Tyson's Corner Virginia (just outside of Washington D.C.)
- last week. A number of things were accomplished, many of which
- I will report on in this newsgroup. Among them are relations
- with the X3J11 C standards committee, access to the P1003 draft
- standard, various issues relating to specific sections of the
- current draft, and the schedule for further meetings and balloting.
-
- A couple of people have complained that digest format is inappropriate
- for this newsgroup. Since the volume is, ah, shall we say, low,
- I don't have any strong feeling one way or the other. So, from
- now on mod.std.unix will not use digest format. If you have
- an opinion one way or the other, mail a note to std-unix-request.
-
- I'm also not going to post all the access information in every article.
- Here it is once, and I'll probably repeat it now and then.
-
- The USENET newsgroup mod.std.unix is for discussions of UNIX standards,
- particularly the IEEE P1003 draft standard. It is also distributed
- in an ARPA Internet mailing list. I'm the moderator, which mostly
- means I post what you send me.

- Permission to post to the newsgroup is assumed for mail to std-unix.
- Permission to post is not assumed for mail to std-unix-request,
- unless explicitly granted in the mail. Mail to my personal addresses
- will be treated like mail to std-unix-request if it obviously refers
- to the newsgroup.
-
- Archives may be found on sally.UTEXAS.EDU. The current volume is
- volume 2, this is the first article in it, and it may be retrieved by
- anonymous ftp (login anonymous, password guest) as ~ftp/pub/mod.std.unix,
- while the previous volume may be retrieved as ~ftp/pub/mod.std.unix.v1.
-
- Finally, remember that any remarks by any committee member (especially
- including me) in this newsgroup do not represent any position (including
- any draft, proposed or actual, of the standard) of the committee as a
- whole, unless explicitly stated otherwise in such remarks.
